Super Easy To Use & Highly Effective

I've been waiting for a tool like this since I picked up Switchy.io from the AppSumo store last year!

I was trying to find a way to embed popups on my switchy links and to this point, I had not been able to "figure it out" - especially in a manner that looks professional!!!

Enter Optinly...

Optinly is ridiculously simple to use - you log-in and set your domain and then create a campaign. The campaign options are robust and all look professional.

I was surprised by how many high-quality pop-ups were available.

I used to make Pop-ups with Elementor Pro but I did not renew my Elementor Pro this year thanks to Elements Kit Pro and I have been looking around for pop-up style products. Elementor worked for Pop-ups but in comparison - Optinly works much much better regarding ease of use (designing the pop-up) and template options (for my style).

This integrates with SendFox!!!! I love when AppSumo deals respect AppSumo products enough to make sure they integrate before launching in the store. It is a great sign in my opinion!

Also - Optinly takes advantage of the growing demand for "gamification" - admittedly I haven't worked within any of the gamification pop-ups yet, but this is an encouraging feature and I look forward to trying it out!

Thus far, I have created a pop-up campaign and used that pop-up on a switchy link (my top use case).

If it can do that, I assume it can handle the basic WP integrations and embeds on sites like SpreadSimple. I will be testing this out on all of my use cases this week and update this review if anything changes. It seems pretty cut and dry and it does what it says it does - 5 tacos for that!

One note of caution: It appears to work on the subdomain level - this means if I use go.domain.com then I must use 2 "sites" if I want it on my root domain as well. For that reason, the 5 sites currently offered on 1 code will go FAST! I'd love to see 1 site work on a root domain level or have a single code give access to more sites (10 sites etc...)

Another note of caution: It says it takes 30 seconds to update - in Switchy's case (unique I know) it took a good minute or two before it worked as an embeddable widget on my link. Initially, it just stalled out and would not re-direct. After a couple of minutes, however, it worked flawlessly adn I have tried it a dozen times and there are no hiccups once you get everything integrated.

This is an AMAZING deal with a very robust roadmap (https://trello.com/b/4XBNXFmP/optinly-roadmap-2021)

Grab this one if you do anything with websites because Pop-ups work and they work well and Optinly takes your Pop Up game to the next level!!
